A Conductors Tribulations.
Albany Journal

Conductor Paddy Ackert runs trains
NOS. and on the Susquehanna Rail-
road. The other day he had passenger
coming down TO Albany en- route to New
York and Philadelphia. she was wo-
man entirely unused to travelling and en-
tlrely ignorant of the functions of the
mandy railroad guides snd timetables.
SO every time Paddy passed through the
car she caught hold of his coat,sleeve and
asked him some question. At last she
button -holed him, and prepared to have
all her questions answered before he
could escape her. The dialogue fol-
lows:
Conductor, what time do We get in Al
bnay?"
"Six-forty."
What time does the boat leave for
New York;"
Eight O'Clock"
DO we get to Albany in time for the
boats"
Yes, ma'am."
What time does the boat get to New
York;"
Six o'clock Tomorrow morning"
Can l get to Jersey City from New
York?"
ASs, lid
what time can 1 leave for Jersey
City,"
"Sixtwenty."
"What time can leave JERSEY City for
Philadelphia"
Seven twenty"
What tine do get to Philadelphias"
"Eleven-twenty."
"Can get state-room on the boat.
"Yes, ma'am;" and then Paddy showed
signs of impatienoe and said: Estate
room 81. so: get supper and breakfast on
the boat If you want to; cab take you
from ferry to depot; ticket cost you
S2.75," SC. But his troubles were not
ended. She had q poodle dog, and that
dog wanted water. So she took it in her
arms to the water-tank, and, drawing
some water IN the cup, let the dog drink
from 1T. Suddenly every passenger in
the car wanted drink of water, and they
all refused to drink from the same cup
the dog had. They called the
conductor, told him, and made him go
clear through the train to the mail car
and get another cup. By this time the
genial Paddy was mad, and he hasn't got
over it yet.

AND THERE'S THE "RULER."-PUT HIN on
YOUR LIST

In his address Of welcome Mr.. Grady,
of the Atlanta Constitution, spoke of
President Cleveland rs "the greatest
ruler on the earth" To this the MilwRu-
kee Sentinel aubioins "The president of
the United States is not a ruler" Aud
the Sentinel is right. The DEMoCRAr is
glad to SEQ the press denounce such ful-
some monarchical cant. 1t has of late
years become too common. This country
of all others on the green earth, should
throttle every expression tending to the
recognition of an idea that any man
elected by the people is or can be in any
sense a ruler. Those whom we elect to
fill tho Offices from the lowest to the
highest, arc public servants, whose
all things as much subject to the law as
other citizens. The disposition 10 speak
of the president and others who have
been chosen to high positions of honor
and trust as rulers, is rapidly growing;
and any one using such expression, be he
high or low, deserves the nations repri
mand Whoever has studied the prin-
cipio upon which a republic must be
based in order that it NAV remain such,
knows, that tho least faint of monarchy
destroys it. Some one has said that "the
tendency of n monarchy is ever toward
republic; while the tendency of repub-
lie is ever toward n monarch" The his
tory of governments proves it true
In monarchy the restraints imposed
on the people prompt them to reduce at
every opportunity the power OF the ruler, |
and thus add to their own power. In a |
republic too much liberty is often mis- |
taken for license; and the class in favor |
of law and order, are frequently inclined |
TO surrender some of their rights to the |
general government, with view to pro-
lection. Intelligence ard integrity can
not alene be depended on to maintain n |
republic; good as these agencies arc, |
without simplicity, and the recognition |
of the equality of all men, TO an extent |
which precludes tho idea of "ruler;" no
republic can exist

The maneuvers of the Henry George
crowd in New York seem to be all in i'm
plicit obedience to orders from republi-
can leaders. The republican boss in New
York politics to-day is "Me Foo" Platt.
Mr.. PIatt recently stated that the whole
business" was to be done in New York
city aid Brooklyn. simultaneously with
this expression of opinion by the repub-
iican boss, Mr.. George threw up his can
vass in the interior of the state and re-
paired 20 New York city to fight the
democrats in their stronghold.

The death of Chief Justice Wallbridge

An Arkansas newspape produces
figures to prove that during tho last
eighteen months little over two million
dollars of northern capital has been in
vested in the lumber and mining indus
tries of that state. Large investments
have also been made in the manufactures
and real estate. And it is doubtless
fact that equally large investments of
northern capital have BEEN made in
other southern states during the same
period. But just the same Mr.. Foraker
OF Ohio is profoundly impressed that the
south wants TO secede again.

CHARLES Dickens thrilling account of
the great riots in London half century
or so ago is called to mind by the hungry,
threatening mobs that now from day to
day parade the streets of that city.
"Bread or work." is the rallying-c cry of
the rioters, and that sounds like the cla-
NOR of desperate men. The poor of Lon
don are evidently on the verge of revolt,
and the terrible chapter Of history that
Dickens wrote may have to be written ov-
er again.

balance for the government. A friend
who knew the young postmaster offered
him loan. Lincoln look down an old
stocking, and poured out $l7-e0 il cop

postage. With a twinkle in his eye, he
turned to his friend and said: what do

prominent republican lawyer, a close
friend to GEN. Ginty, and one who knows
the inside workings of the Wisconsin re
publican machine thoroughly, said this to
an Oshkosh Times correspondents: Saw
yer and Spooner both favor Ginty, and
while the latter would naturally be back
of Horace A. Taylor, it was too plain for
Spoouer TO fail TO see it, that Mr.. Taylor
would be very weak candidate. 1t was
generally conceded among the republi-
cans that the next candidate for governor
must be taken from the northern part of
the state, aud that Isylor's friends would
give way to Ginty if the party leaders
said he was the man TO run.
General Ginty is straight-out can
didats,' continued the informant, "snd
that means, as everybody knows, that
there has been an understanding or the
senator would not ride rough shod over
Mr.. Taylor's carefully tended political
vines. General Ginty has taken especia
pains to meet large number of the lead
ing republicans of the state during the
summer, and it was not all done for fun,
either. 1t is all arranged that Rusk is
to be let down handsomely with COM

effect this move would have on the as
piratiors of McFetriSge and Guenther,

opinion is that these gentlemen have
had about thsir full share, and it is time
hey gave some one else chance"

GEN. GREELY's first report as chief sig
nal service officer ventures a suggestion
or two. One is that military signaling
and weather observing do not GO togeth-
er; that the latter has crowded the for
mer to the wall; and that, therefore, they
should be separated to the end that
certain number of soldiers may be trained
in military signaling to act as teachers
of recruits in case of war. Gen. Greely
also sees no reason why weather obserV-
ing is not essentially civil in its duties,
and he suggests that the meteorological
service be brought under the civil-service
act and civilians appointed to conduct it
under his supervision, however. But
he Knows the business from top to bot
tom and might we'll be allowed to conduct
it, even if his suggestion as to making
its duties civil was carried out.

WITH THEIR COATS OFF

when General Hamilton arrived, few
minutes later, accompanied by his second,
Judge Nathaniel Pendleton, and his sur
geon, DIR. Hoosac. Burr and Hamilton
and their seconds exchanged salutetions.
The principals were placed-Hamilton
looking over the river and Burr at the
rough and acclivitous rocks under which
they stood. Judge Pendleton gave Ham
ilton his pistol and asked: "Will you
have the hair-spring set?" "Not this
time," was the quiet reply. The word
Present" was given. Both presented and
fired in succession-Burr first, his fire
taking effect. General Hamilton almost
instantly fell, his pistol going off invol-
unfairly.
Judge Pendleton always claimed that
Hamilton did not fire at Burr, and Ham
ilton's dying declaration was that he did
not intend to fire at Burr the first round,
and subsequent investigation as TO the
direction the ball took confirmed the
statements of both Hamilton and Pen
dleton. Burr was considered a good
shot-he had pursued a course Of train
ing for the event for weeks He re-
marked or the afternoon OF the same
day, by way of excuse for firing little
below the breast, that had it not been for
the smoke, or ri-ing, momentary mist,
or something of that nature, which inter
cepted his vision, he should have lodged
the ball exactly in the center of Hsmil
toms heart. General Hamilton died the
next day at two O'Clock in the afternoon,
in the forty eighth year of his age.

JUDGE ZANE ami Gov. West of Utph
have both expressed their visws this week
on the subject of the admission of Utah
as a state, and they have no hesitation in
pronouncing such step as uuwise.
These two officials have been brought
directly in contact with the Mormon
power, one as a magistrate who has tried
majority of tho polygamy cases, and
the other as the territorial executive.
Gov. West is very candid man, and up
on his arrival at Salt Lake City took steps
to bring about better feeling between
the two parties there. He failed utterly,
and his recommendations will carry great
weight. The move for statehood, and the
demand for more stringent
-polygamy bill, both come up before
Congress next winter, and it would not
be far cut of the way if deaf ear were
turned to both applications for the pre-
sent.

Little Things That Pay.

1t is not so great an art to have hens lay
well during the winter season. yet 1t Is
sign of successful management on the
part of the keeper. There are several
things which bear upon this point. and
which must be respected by the breeder
if he wishes to reap the best success at
this time.
Fowls will never do well unless they
are made comfortable and satisfied with
their surroundings. being at home, as it
were, and not too closely confined. They
must be kept in good health and given
plenty of exercise. This matter of exer-
else is more important than most breeders
think, and the fowls should always be
supplied with it in some way whenever
lhey are confined. IT has an important in
tluence on health and strength and serves
in a measure to ward off the many diseases
which are so common among poultry. and
oftentlmes so very disastrous in their eff
fects. This has such an important in
tiuence on their health that it needs extra
attention from the breeder, and ii it Is
neglected it will soon show the bad effects
thus occasioned, and of course without
good health there is no breed that can be
made TO yield satisfactory returns to their
keeper. 1t is the little things about the
care and management of poultry that need
! the most attention, and which II attended
to properly always result in the best profit
to their keeper. The work does not
amount to much itself, but it is of the ut
most importance that it is done at the
right time and in the proper way.
